Goldilocks and the Three Bears as retold by Professor Pen Once upon a time there were three bears - Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and wee Baby Bear. They lived in a quaint little cottage in the middle of the forest. One beautiful spring morning, the bears sat down to eat their porridge. "It's too hot!" squealed Baby Bear. "Ouch! This porridge needs to cool off a bit," agreed Papa Bear. ___________the three bears decided to go for a stroll in the woods while their porridge cooled. ___________________, a curious little girl named Goldilocks was out walking in the woods. She saw the bears' cute little house and couldn't resist meeting its occupants. She went straight to the door and knocked. There was no answer. So Goldilocks went right in! Goldilocks saw the three bowls of porridge and decided to have a taste. ______________, she took a taste from the great big bowl. "Too hot!" she cried. Next, she tried the middle-sized bowl. "Too cold!" she said. ___________ she had a taste from the wee little bowl. "Yum! Just right!" she said, and ate every last bit of Baby Bear's porridge. After she had eaten, Goldilocks saw three chairs. She sat down in the great big Papa Bear chair."Too hard!" she thought. ___________, she tried the middle-sized chair. "Too soft!" she said, sinking into the chair. ____________, Goldilocks sat down on wee Baby Bear's chair. "Just right!" _____________ she sat down so hard that the chair collapsed into pieces. __________________, Goldilocks was starting to get very sleepy. She climbed up the stairs and found three beds. First, she tried the great big Papa Bear bed. "Too hard!" Next, she tried the middle-sized bed. "Too soft!" Then, she tried the wee little Baby Bear bed. "Just right!" She fell fast asleep. When the three bears came back from their little walk in the woods, they were in for a big surprise. Papa Bear said in his great big voice, "Someone's been eating my prridge!" Mama Bear said in her middle-sized voice, "Someone's been eating my porridge!". Then Baby Bear said in his wee little voice, "Someone's been eating my porridge - and it's all gone!" Papa bear went into the living room. He said in his great big voice, "Someone's been sitting in my chair!" "Someone's been sitting in my chair!" said Mama Bear in her middle-sized coice. Baby Bear said in his wee little voice, "Someone's been sitting in my chair - and broke it to pieces!" Then they went upstairs. "Someone's been sleeping in my bed!" said Papa Bear in his great big voice. "Someone's been sleeping in my bed!" said Mama Bear in her medium-sized voice. "Someone's been sleeping in my bed, and there she is!" cried Baby Bear in his wee little voice. _______________, Goldilocks woke up. She ran out of the cute little house as fast as she could, never to return.
